Episode 5: Hope in the Dark -- An Election Reflection
from Jonah Asks · host Jonah Hall
Hope in the Dark, by Rebecca Solnit, is a powerful book of essays.These essays are equally personal and political. They ask the reader to consider the ripple effects of a personal commitment to justice and a better future. At an uncertain time when looking toward the future is absolutely necessary, I reflect on Solnit's words which might help guide that path forward.

All Ears with Abigail Disney
Abigail Disney
Abigail has a new documentary, The American Dream and Other Fairy Tales, in which she examines the inequality crisis through the lens of the company her grandfather helped found, The Walt Disney Company. In the film, she asks how it is possible that so many workers at Disneyland, aka “the happiest place on earth,” can’t afford life's basic necessities, even when they work full time. For the fourth season of All Ears, Abigail poses that question to people who are doing the most Disney thing of all–using their imaginations–in this case to rethink capitalism. She talks with business leaders, union organizers, and economists to learn how they would fix our broken economy.
